Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Dong Zi Arrested

Jiang Cheng left Elder Xu’s house, replaying everything in her mind.

She felt that something had to happen today.

Riding her bicycle, Jiang Cheng quickly arrived at the junkyard. As soon as she locked her bike, she heard a cry.

"No! Take me! Take me!"

"Mom—save me!"

"Dong Zi! Don’t take my son, he really doesn’t know anything!"

Sister Kong’s cries were heart-wrenching, and Jiang Cheng ran into the backyard, taking in the scene before her.

Leader Tang was personally leading the team. Dong Zi was being pinned to the ground by three men, while Sister Kong was pleading desperately.

Sister Wang was trying to help Sister Kong but was concerned about her pregnancy.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng stepped forward to assist Sister Kong.

"Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng, my Dong Zi knows nothing! Please spare him!"

Jiang Cheng could guess it was about the police closing in on human traffickers, but she pretended not to understand, asking, "Sister Kong, what are you talking about? I don’t understand. How can I help Dong Zi?"

Sister Kong trembled, gripping Jiang Cheng’s leg with her hands, breathing heavily, "Dong Zi wanted to drug you, I didn’t help him. I know he’s wrong, I didn’t help him! He didn’t succeed, don’t take him!"

"He was just deceived, he had an idea, he really didn’t succeed in doing anything!"

Sister Kong wept in agony, kneeling in circles, pleading for mercy. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Jiang Cheng was momentarily speechless.

She had guessed correctly, Dong Zi wanted to follow Sister Kong’s plan to drug her.

Yet it was unexpected that Sister Kong, who usually spoiled Dong Zi, actually didn’t help him.

Sister Kong was finally helped to her feet by Jiang Cheng.

In the end, Jiang Cheng accompanied Sister Kong to the police station.

After nearly a day’s interrogation, the situation gradually became clear.

The traffickers deliberately sought out people like Dong Zi, using threats and temptations.

As long as he succeeded in bringing in a target, whether a woman or a child, people like Dong Zi at the margins would truly be part of the organization.

Dong Zi had followed Jiang Cheng for a few days and found no opportunity to act, so he sought Sister Kong to drug Jiang Cheng.

Sister Kong refused.

In her words, Dong Zi could fail to make money or even hit her, but he couldn’t harm others.

Dong Zi was drugged by Sister Kong and kept locked up at home for many days.

Until Sister Kong thought everything was fine and reduced the drug dosage, Dong Zi regained his strength and ran out, with his first reaction being to retaliate against his own mother.

Just as Dong Zi was about to hit Sister Kong, he was restrained by several police officers.

Jiang Cheng and Sister Kong left the police station together.

She said nothing to Sister Kong, should she offer comfort?

She didn’t want to.

After giving Sister Kong a slight nod, Jiang Cheng left first.

Sister Kong stood in a daze at the police station entrance, her eyes gradually turning determined, heading towards the junkyard.

After leaving the police station, Jiang Cheng went to night school.

After finishing her class with Teacher Lü, Teacher Lü handed her a thin foreign language book.

"Translate it into Chinese, you can earn money."

Jiang Cheng’s eyes lit up; she knew this meant her translation skills recently met Teacher Lü’s standards, and he was starting to give her real translation work.

"Thank you, teacher."

"Don’t thank me; once you finish translating this book, you can apply for a translation certificate, then you won’t need to cover shifts."

Teacher Lü had always been concerned about Jiang Cheng covering shifts at the junkyard.

Jiang Cheng squatted down, rubbing Teacher Lü’s leg with her hands.

"Teacher, does it feel good?"

Teacher Lü deliberately kept a straight face, "It’s okay."

Jiang Cheng immediately increased her effort, asking, "How about now?"

"Just barely."

The two playfully teased each other, and in the end, Teacher Lü shooed Jiang Cheng away to attend class.

Jiang Cheng, leaving the office, stood on the third floor, looking toward the junkyard, recalling her glance back at the police station entrance.

Why was Sister Kong heading back to the junkyard?
